Color value in the last table shows, the tinting material of example I D, and the product look color that the tinting material of the tinting material of EXAMPLE III D and embodiment XVI can be good is used for hot melt printing ink, shows as the high a* and the b* value of printed matter.From showing to find out that obviously the color that comprises the printing ink (printing ink A and B) of the present invention's four stearyl tinting materials is bright product look and is similar to the comparative ink of being made by commercially available SR 49 (printing ink G).Be different from relative strong acid of common needs such as DDBSA to show commercial SR 49 tinting materials of its color in the printing ink base-material, the distearyl tinting material of the present invention among the printing ink C-E has great red product look color and need not sour developer.The spectral intensity of printing ink and a* value increase along with its colorant concentration, shown in printing ink C-E.The good tinting material solubleness performance of distearyl tinting material in test printing ink base-material is very high tinting material heap(ed) capacity and the corresponding very high spectral intensity of printing ink C-E.

Embodiment XVIII

Four stearyl tinting materials from example I D are relatively undertaken by detecting the spectral intensity of its printing ink after heating with the thermostability of contrast SR 49 tinting materials.In the method, printing ink is heated in 145 degrees centigrade stove in glass pot continuously.The spectral intensity (amount that relate to soluble colorant in printing ink) of printing ink in the n-butanols is measured as the function of digestion time.Any thermolysis of test tinting material can be observed because of variable color, changes detecting like this in spectral intensity.

Following table provides the spectral intensity of the relative initial value that changes with the elapsed time of printing ink A and comparative ink F sample.Remaining spectral intensity at this with the tolerance of doing the remaining tinting material of not degrading in the printing ink.Colorant inks A obviously compares with comparative ink F has excellent thermostability.

Tinting material degraded not only causes the decline (as above shown in the table) of spectral intensity, moves or fades but also can produce non-required color owing to the tinting material decomposition reaction in the printing ink.If tinting material is not heat-staple, these phenomenons all can influence the quality of colour of the printed matter of these printing ink unfriendly.On angle of practical application, it also is important when assessment tinting material thermostability that the overall color of printing ink changes (E that is determined as color value changes).

Heat stability test heats in glass pot by testing printing ink, take a sample subsequently and use K-Proofer with ink printing on HAMMERMILL LASERPRINT paper and the last colour-change of measuring the printed matter of sampling printing ink as the function of time.The colour-change of gained printed matter detects and is expressed as the Δ E of initial relatively CIELAB value by the CIELAB value.Being used to obtain the described method of CIELAB value more than the colour-change basis of every kind of sample determines.Colour-change is determined (Δ E=[(L* according to ASTM D2244-89 (being calculated the standard test methods of aberration by the Instrument measuring color coordinates) ₁-L* ₂) ²+ (a* ₁-a* ₂) ²+ (b* ₁-b* ₂) ²] ^1/2).Printing ink B, the result of C and G provides in following table.Shown in the data in the form, the printing ink B that comprises example I D and the tinting material of EXAMPLE III D compares with the comparative ink G that comprises SR 49 with C has colour stability preferably.

Test the tinting material diffusion of the printing ink (printing ink B) of the tinting material that comprises example I D.For relatively, test the comparative ink G that comprises commercial tinting material SR 49 in addition; Two kinds of printing ink are included in the inferior tinting material and the DDBSA of the 1-5 part of embodiment XIV.This spread evaluating method requires to produce the text printed matter of product color ink, and SCOTCH  adhesive tape is adhered on a part of text, checks that then tinting material diffuses to the degree of adhesive material along with the time.Studying the text printing sample subsequently is how to strengthen the diffusion of tinting material along with the time to observe heat.This test simulation when people with SCOTCH  binder tape labeling the practical situation on by the printed matter that printing ink produced that comprises this tinting material the time.The heating printed matter is used for simulating when the condition of printed matter when warm climate is handled or pass through the high speed file handler.

After 45 degrees centigrade heating also at room temperature kept for 6 weeks in 6 days subsequently down, use the printed text region list of the comparative ink G with commercial tinting material SR 49 to reveal the deep diffusion of tinting material to used adhesive tape, cause the edge blurry of text character.For the printing ink B of the tinting material that comprises example I D, the degree of diffusion is significantly but the degree deficiency, and is positioned at the printed text readability more under the adhesive tape.The result shows that the tinting material of example I D is compared with commercial SR 49 has lower diffusion tendency.Although be not limited to any particular theory, it is believed that the long alkyl group in the tinting material of example I D helps to prevent that tinting material from diffusing to the printing ink base-material.
